A seat back is supported by the frame in the chair configuration of the furniture and serves as a headboard or additional mattress in the bed configuration.

A seat convertible to a bed. The seat includes a locking mechanism for fixably maintaining a head panel section of the bed in a generally horizontal orientation when the bed is in the deployed configuration and releasing the head panel section from the deployed configuration by a lifting motion. The locking mechanism is connected to the head panel section and a mid-swinging member. The mid-swinging member pivotally attaches to the head panel section and a stationary mounting arm. The stationary mounting arm is fixably attached to a seat frame.

There is disclosed an extendable sofa comprising a frame having a seat support portion, a back-support portion, and a cushion storage compartment, wherein the frame is adapted to extend and collapse length-wise between a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration. A primary seat cushion adapted to rest upon the seat support portion of the frame when in the frame is in the collapsed configuration. An auxiliary seat cushion adapted to be stored in the cushion storage compartment when the frame is in the collapsed configuration and adapted to rest upon the seat support portion when the frame is in the extended configuration. At least one primary back cushion adapted to rest against the back-support portion of the frame when the frame is in the collapsed configuration. At least one auxiliary back cushion adapted to be stored in the cushion storage compartment when the frame is in the collapsed configuration and adapted to rest against the back-support portion when the frame is in the extended configuration.
